How do you pronounce Pixls.us ?

Sorry if it is a stupid question but how are you suppose to pronounce the name of the website?

Recently with my latest videos on AI in Darktable I wanted to refer to the forum as a fantastic source of information but don’t know how to pronounce the name :smiley:

The way it’s spelled, IMO: “piksels dot yoo ess”. Putting the actual link onscreen would be a big help, given the missing ‘e’.

Then again, what’s do I know? :slightly_smiling_face:

OK I was maybe overthinking it and thinking about a joke I did not catch as I’m not native american.

I haven’t had a need to pronounce the name aloud yet, but I would do it just like others said here, maybe try to emphasize the missing ‘e’ somehow…

@patdavid, this is your idea iirc. i thought this was more about all of “us”, the community, rather than U.S., the country.

Pixels dot us (not you ess). No idea if that’s correct though.

Pixels-dot-us.

us as in us and them rather than as in USA. Even though I do know that it does mean USA :lol:

Yeah the fact that .us is the top-level domain of the United States is confusing to just about anyone who’s not aware of the actual intent/meaning :sweat_smile:

@CarVac was with us at lgm when pat gave the initial presentation if memory doesn’t fail me completely, like 2014?

Ha ha, no problem. Although “pixels-dot-us” is canonical, personally, I call it “pixels” without the “us” (pronoun) as in the “pixels” community or forum.

Sometimes, I consider it to be a portmanteau between pixels and discussion, though that would not convince sticklers who would point out the redundancy: discuss.pixls.us, which is also a subset of pixls.us.

Anyway, it is a good name. Let us stick with it. Tired of the rebranding that is everywhere nowadays. :stuck_out_tongue:

No, I’ve only been to LGM 2019. But I did hear the pronunciation straight from Pat.

The real question is: who are you talking about this with IRL?
